ALMOST MARZETTI'S SLAW DRESSING
Did you ever just start cooking without really having a clue where you were going to end up? My kids have gotten used to it by now. "Mom, what's for dinner?" "I don't know, it's not DONE yet. Let's wait and see what it turns out to be, okay?" Sometimes I let them name it. I really had absolutely NO idea how this would taste, but sometimes I come up with pretty decent stuff that way. Over the Memorial Day weekend, I thought I'd just whip up some coleslaw to go with my Bobbie-Q Beef (recipe for that may follow...eventually) But instead of reaching for a coleslaw recipe in a cookbook, I whipped out my handy-dandy Palm Pilot (how did I EVER get along without it?) and looked up the recipe for "Amish Macaroni Salad." I took that as my leaping-off point. First, I changed it from Miracle Whip to mayonnaise, then reduced the sugar. Also I added the celery salt, because, well, if it's good enough for a Chicago Style Hot Dog, it's good enough for me. Turned out that it tasted almost-but-not-quite exactly like Marzetti's Brand Slaw Dressing which comes in a glass jar from Your Grocer's Refrigerator Case. Which I just happen to like, so it was a good thing. Hope you give this a try.

SWEET RESTAURANT SLAW
This tastes just like the cole slaw served at popular fried chicken or fish restaurants. It's excellent with burgers or on top of BBQ'd pork sandwiches, too!!!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the slaw will taste. If possible, use cabbage, carrots, and onions that have been recently harvested.
- Shred the cabbage and carrots thinly. This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing more easily and make it more flavorful.
- Use a sharp knife to shred the cabbage and carrots. This will help to prevent the vegetables from tearing and bruising.
- Add some sweetness to the slaw. This can be done by adding sugar, honey, or maple syrup to the dressing. You can also add some fruit, such as apples or grapes, to the slaw.
- Add some acidity to the slaw. This can be done by adding vinegar, lemon juice, or lime juice to the dressing. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the slaw.
- Add some salt and pepper to the slaw. This will help to enhance the flavor of the vegetables and the dressing.
- Chill the slaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and make the slaw more refreshing.
